Definitions
- the invention relates to a sliding contact arrangement, in particular for a carbon brush, of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
- the pressure spring has the task of holding the sliding contact body in contact with the rotating slip ring, commutator or the like and pushing it according to its wear.
- the sliding contact body In operation, the sliding contact body can be subjected to considerable vibration and impact forces which cause it to move against the spring force, whereby it loses contact with the slip ring or the like and the current flow is interrupted.
- the reason for this can e.g. Out of roundness of the slip ring or the like, vibrations of the machine caused by unbalance or, in the case of machines installed in vehicles, the vibrations transmitted by the roadway, the rail joints or the like.
- the invention has for its object to develop a sliding contact arrangement of the specified type with the simplest possible means so that a lifting of the
- the sliding contact body in the holder can only move in the feed direction under the force of the pressure spring, while movements opposite to the feed direction are prevented by the blocking which then begins immediately on the holder. It is particularly advantageous if, according to the feature of claim 2, small spring travel of the sliding contact body or the holder are possible against an additional, preferably progressive spring force. This additional spring force only acts in the event of impacts or the like, which attempt to lift the sliding contact body off the slip ring or the like, but does not increase the pressing force applied by the pressure spring as a permanent load.
- Embodiments of the invention are based on the drawing countries explained in more detail. It shows:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sliding contact arrangement according to a first embodiment of the invention.
- a carbon brush 1 is displaceably guided in a rectangular, shaft-shaped holder 2 and is pressed downward in the feed direction against a slip ring, commutator or the like by a pressure spring 3 designed as a roller band spring. Cables 4 are provided for the power connection to the carbon brush 1.
- a leaf spring 5 is provided, the middle part of which on the upper surface.
- the carbon brush 1 rests and lies under the pressure spring 3, while the two legs 5a of the leaf spring 5 extend obliquely upwards from the top of the carbon brush 1 and bear in frictional contact with the bent friction tab 5b on the inner wall of the holder 2.
- the leaf spring 5 When the carbon brush 1 in FIG. 1 is pressed downwards and when the carbon brush 1 is advanced in accordance with its wear, the leaf spring 5 also follows, since the friction tabs 5b then have only loose frictional contact with the inner wall of the holder 2. 1 acts upward on the carbon brush 1, the leaf spring 5 expands in the holder 2, so that the carbon brush 1 in the holder 2 only moves against the very strong and progressively increasing spring force of the leaf spring 5 can. Movement deflections of the carbon brush 1 upwards, ie loss of contact with the slip ring or the like. are therefore effectively prevented or limited to small swings.
- the pressure spring 3 can be dimensioned with a relatively low spring force, since it only has to deliver the static permanent contact pressure and the feed force for the carbon brush 1.
- the carbon brush 1 is displaceably guided in the shaft-like holder 2 and is loaded by a pressure spring 3 designed as a helical spring.
- a pressure spring 3 designed as a helical spring.
- the bristle strips 6 with short, stiff bristles which are arranged with an inclined position pointing upwards towards the holder 2.
- the bristle strip 6 is attached to the carbon brush 1, and the bristles 6a are obliquely upward from the bristle strip 6.
- the bristle strip 6 is attached to the inner surface of the holder 2 as an alternative embodiment, the bristles 6 a being directed obliquely downwards in the direction of the carbon brush 1.
- the bristles 6a are dimensioned in terms of their length and rigidity so that they allow the carbon brush 1 to move downward under the force of the pressure spring 3, but they spread out between the carbon brush 1 and the holder 2 with each movement of the carbon brush 1 and that Block upward movement. Due to the bending stiffness of the bristles 6a, a certain small spring travel of the carbon brush 1 in the holder 2 may still be possible, the additional spring force exerted by the bristles 6a also being significantly greater than that of the pressure spring 3 and preferably progressively increasing .
- the bristle strips 6 with the bristles 6a can be made of any suitable material, in particular a sufficiently rigid plastic or steel.
- FIG. 3 largely corresponds to that of FIG. 2, but the holder 2 is slidably arranged in a stationary guide 8 and against the force of a z. B. designed as a plate spring additional spring 7 can move up slightly.
- Bristle strips 6 and bristles 6a are attached to the inner wall of the holder 2 as a latching and spreading device, which are inclined downwards in the direction of the carbon brush 1.
- the bristles 6a can be dimensioned such that they essentially do not allow any spring travel for the carbon brush 1 upwards, since a corresponding spring travel of the holder 2 is possible due to the additional plate spring 7.
- the latching or spreading device can also take on the task of contacting and supplying current to the carbon brush 1 if the corresponding elements, such as 5 or 6, consist of metallic material. So you can z. B. in Fig. 1 omit the cables 4 and connect the power connector to the metallic holder 2, from where the current can flow via the leaf spring 5 into the carbon brush 1. The same applies to the embodiments according to FIGS. 2 and 3 if metallic or in any case conductive material is used for the bristle strips 6 and bristles 6a.

Abstract
Un balai de charbon (1) glissant à l'intérieur d'une gaine et poussé par un ressort à pression est bloqué dans cette gaine (2), en présence de forces s'exerçant dans le sens opposé à son déplacement vers l'avant, par l'action d'un dispositif d'arrêt ou d'un dispositif à écartement (5, 6), dans une position telle qu'il ne peut plus se déplacer dans le sens opposé à son mouvement vers l'avant ou qu'il peut seulement se déplacer en surmontant une force élastique supplémentaire, de préférence progressive.A carbon brush (1) sliding inside a sheath and pushed by a pressure spring is blocked in this sheath (2), in the presence of forces acting in the direction opposite to its forward movement , by the action of a stopper or a spacer device (5, 6), in a position such that it can no longer move in the direction opposite to its forward movement or that 'it can only move overcoming an additional elastic force, preferably progressive.
